(...) No doubt about that!... Comparing to your own design (one of my favourites BTW), it becomes obvious that 6 wide is better for scale but 8 wide takes the prize for detail... :-) The 7 segments retain fairly accurate proportions, at least on a (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

Took a cross-country Amtrak trip from Albuquerque to New York City this past Christmas. Road to Chicago on the Southwest Chief and then to NYC on the Lakeshore Limited. Saw a few locs to inspire some virtual construction. The first is a go at the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

This tram model caught my attention. Uses a new windscreen element to achieve the perfect look for this imitation of the real thing. (URL) model Marc! later, James Mathis (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think it is a fantastic use of the 4-wide cockpit window element. Very cool how you integrated the sloping nose around 45 degree slopes and inverse slopes. Well done. Your metrostation and white/black metro train look good, too. Thanks for (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I agree. I try to build all new trains 7 wide. It's a bit more work but it does seem to be the ideal size for the track. KL (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Definitely. I bet you could even find a prototype for it somewhere if you hunted hard enough. Perhaps body mounted rather than truck mounted would be necessary to avoid somewhat silly looking trucks, though. (...) Yep. They're called unit (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If the circle ends up being a bit too small to center the couplers, couldn't you build a different hopper that has the couplers a brick or two higher? Sure, it would only work with other hoppers with the same coupler design, but most of the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hello all LEGO train fans! Please have a look at my Blue Express passenger train on (URL) earlier trains have all been red or white so now I wanted to try the blue color.

The inner trucks are just floating - this does lead to occasional (ok, often) derailments. The engine can handle turnouts and crossings, but not as consistantly as I would like. (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
